Dear A KS,

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of 13^th October 2022 requesting under the
Official Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

“Thanks for opening the Parent Resident Visa Category.

 

Could you reply for the following 6 questions ?

 

1:- Can you provide the total Count of EOIs currently in the Parents'
residency visa Queued pool. If you can provide the count of persons, that
will be great too, as 1 EOI can have more than one applicant.

 

2:- Please share the document mentioned in the link below, dated 20
October 2021, regarding long-term visitor visas for Parents.

 

[1]https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...

 

3:- Please share any other documents related to the discussion or
consideration of the introduction of the longer-term parent visitor visa
or any modifications to the existing 3 years parent and grandparent
visitor visa.

 

4:- The MBIE public document library has released documents related to the
SMC review, but the library has no document regarding the recently done
review of the Parents Resident Visa.

                 [2]https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...

 

Could you please release documents for Parent Visa review as you did for
SMC. You can provide documents as a response to this OIA too.

 

5:- In the old EOI, you had provided a breakdown of the Submitted EOI
count and Count of EOI in the queue split by the year month format

[3]https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...

[4]https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...

 

However, at that time there were no withdrawals

 

Can you provide similar information again in EXCEL format?

 

Format of the data extract required ( 8 Columns a -h below)

 

a:- YEAR

b:- MONTH

c:- COUNT of EOIs Submitted in that Year Month

d:- COUNT of Persons belonging to the EOI Submitted (c) in that Year Month

e:- COUNT of EOIs from that Year Month which are in Queued Pool now

f:-  COUNT of Persons in EOIs (e)  from that Year Month which are in in
Queued Pool now

g:- COUNT of EOIs from that Year Month which have been withdrawn

h:- COUNT of Persons in EOIs (g) from that Year Month which have been
withdrawn.

 

You can add the old Tier 1 and Tier 2 together for counts.

 

6:- Can you provide the total count of EOIs submitted before 15 September
2018 and still in the Queued pool? If you can give the count of persons,
that will be great too.”

 

Your request is being processed in accordance with the Act and a response
will be sent to you in due course. If you have any enquiries regarding
your request feel free to contact us via email [5][MBIE request email] or
